Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCompaction Properties of Silty Soils in Relation to Soil Texture, Moisture Content and Organic MatterPrathuang Usaborisut, Jettapol AmpanmaneeSoil compaction is recognized as an increasingly challenging problem with regard to root growth and yield reduction in agricultural production in Thailand. The aim of this research was to study the effect of soil texture, moisture content and organic matter on the compaction properties of silty soils. Three soils with different silt contents were studied-loam, silty clay loam and silt … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2015 · 9,536 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEmploying Electromagnetic Induction Technique for the Assessment of Soil CompactionKhalid A. Al-GaadiAn experiment on a sandy soil field was conducted to investigate the potential of determining soil compaction from apparent soil Electrical Conductivity (ECa) measured by Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) technique. A soil conductivity meter (EM38) was used to measure ECa under four soil Moisture Contents (MC) (4.965.336.94 and 8.0%) and a range of Soil Compaction (SC) levels (on the average, from … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 7 Nov 2012 · 8,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of Soil Moisture Sensors under Intelligent Irrigation Systems for Economical Crops in Arid RegionsMohamed Said Abdall El Marazky, Fawzi Said Mohammad, Hussein Mohamed Al-GhobariProblem Statement: In irrigation water management, irrigation water use represents a substantial opportunity for agriculture water savings. Automation of irrigation systems, based on Soil Moisture Sensors Systems (SMSS) has the potential to provide maximum water use efficiency by maintaining soil moisture at optimum levels. Approach: The objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of soil moisture sensors under … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparison of Twelve Dielectric Moisture Probes for Soil Water Measurement under Saline ConditionsM. Inoue, B.A. Ould Ahmed, T. Saito, M. IrshadRecently the research on the determination of soil water content and electrical conductivity using automated technique has received tremendous attention. Selecting the type of system that should be used for soil water measurement under saline conditions depends on its precision. A laboratory study was carried out to measure the soil water content (θ) and soil solution electrical conductivity (ECw) using … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,450 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSequential Remediation Processes for Effective Removal of Oil from Contaminated SoilsDeepika Dave, Reema Alharathi, Abdel GhalyProblem statement: Over 2.2 billions of oil and oil products were transported every year and often these activities can result in air, water and soil contamination. Expousure to petroleum products can cause health problems to humn and animals and affect marine animals and wildlife habitats. Approach: The objective of this study was to developed a technology for the remediation of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Tillage Methods on Soil Fragmentation in Loamy-Clay SoilsYousef Abbaspour-Gilandeh, Vali Rasooli Sharabiani, Ahmad KhalilianProblem statement: Soil fragmentation is a primary aim in tillage in order to create a favorable soil environment for crop growth. Soil fragmentation is defined as the process of breakdown and crumbling of soil aggregates. Currently, there is no published research data on optimum tillage operations for seedbed preparation in loamy-clay soils of western Caspian Sea region of Iran. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 10,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollection and Processing of Medicinal Raw Materials from Some Rare Plants in the Forest-Steppe Zone of Northern KazakhstanMarat Tynykulov, Svetlana Derbush, Marina Kuznetsova et al.Rare endemic plants of the forest-steppe zone of Northern Kazakhstan, including Adonis vernalis, Adonis wolgensis, Pulsatilla patens, and Pulsatilla multifida, represent valuable medicinal resources whose sustainable utilization requires optimized harvesting, processing, and conservation strategies. This study evaluated the effects of drying conditions, environmental factors, extraction techniques, and biotechnological approaches on the yield and quality of bioactive compounds from these species. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2026 · 1,595 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrophysical Properties of Soils as Indicators of the Hydrological Role of Rudny Altai ForestsAndrey Kalachev, Tamara Burenina, Stanislav Rogovsky et al.The hydrophysical properties of soils and parent rock are key factors shaping forest hydrological functioning, as they influence multiple runoff components. This study assessed the effects of forest stand composition on soil moisture and water permeability between 2021 and 2023 in the middle mountain-taiga zone of the Rudny Altai, within the Zhuravlikha River basin, a tributary of the Irtysh River. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2026 · 1,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimate of Safe Angle for Cut Slopes Under Different Geology and Rainfall Intensity in Central NepalPrabin Shrestha, Khomendra Bhandari, Mahendra Acharya et al.This research has been carried out on a cut slope of Kathmandu-Terai Fast Track Road near Koppugaon located at Dakshinkali Municipality, Kathmandu. The cutting of the slope without considering the possible effects of geological parameters of slope material may cause unexpected slope failures which may cause loss of lives and properties. This research deals with the effects of rainfall and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2024 · 9,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Modeling and Heat-Moisture Transfer Characteristic Analysis of in Situ Thermal Desorption System for Polluted SoilHuijuan Xu, Yanjun Bi, Lijun Gao, Dongxiao MaIn Situ Gas Thermal Desorption (ISGTD) is one of the effective approaches for organic contaminated soil. To investigate the heat-moisture transfer characteristics of soil during the heating process, a radially layered coupled heat-moisture model of the ISGTD system is established. The temperature and moisture distribution along the radial direction of the heat source, as well as the synergistic action of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2024 · 4,035 accessesView PDFCite
